Police said Houston firefighters were dispatched to the scene on a report of a burning car. When they arrived, they found the SUV engulfed in flames. After extinguishing the blaze, firefighters discovered Edwards' body in the backseat. It appeared Edwards had been shot.

Evidence at the scene as well as witness statements led investigators to identify Berry as a suspect in the case. Investigators interviewed Berry Wednesday and charged her for her role in Edwards' death.
